Trade L Fisher, Raph, X, Ball, Milne, Kosi, Lenny, Dal, Joey and Riewoldt for draft picks. M Clarke, Voss, Thommo, Harves, Fraser, Max, Hamill, Gardi, Gram, S Fisher, Gibert (too old to make it now), should all retire. I want to see the coach get 22 games next season into Brooks, McQualter, Armo, Ho...

Get a grip FFS ya big sook. We got smashed this year by injuries, took an understandable while to grasp the game plan and played some good footy after the break. The second half of the season wasn't quite as wonderful as you make it sound Teffers (devastating fourth quarter collapses against the Pi...

Yes, when you consider our much easier draw than in 2006, making an EF once again would have flattered our performance. In rounds 21-22 last season, we were guaranteed a place in the 8 and were still an outside chance of making the top 4. Truth to tell, this season we lost to, or struggled to beat, ...

Aging list with serious holes Most of your other comparisons are valid, but not this one IMO. We don't really have an ageing list of the sort we had in 1999: the backbone of our list is in its early to mid 20s. And we don't have that many holes either. The Watson era brought some extremely curious ...

Nothing more to say really.

Mehe babbleheaps and Danwannabeafootballanalyst you have no clue whatsoever and make stuff up - seriously go back and read what your saying. CJ and Thompson are about par right now - both ordinary kicks and turn it over, both hard at the footy (Thommo shade ahead here) 1 IS VERY QUCIK (despite Babb...

Perhaps under J in the Oxford Dictionary of Oxymorons.

To be fair to journalists, it has to be said that reporters on commercial news and TV shows are at the bottom of the journalistic food chain: only one rung above talkback hosts IMO. So seeing Howard as epitomising everything that is wrong about journalism is a bit like seeing parking officials as ep...

An insight on a par with your offensive and incorrect avatar.

What a disappointment, Stinger. I thought from the title you had given the thread we finally had an explanation for why MM has been able to stand coaching at Club Eddie for so long!!

I'd take him in a flash: and would certainly give up a first round pick for him. But we'd have to stand at the end of the queue methinks. He's certainly been a bit overrated by the media at times: he's not in the class of Lenny IMO. But - if you can get him fit and motivated again - he'd no doubt de...

Adelaide and Richmond will win this week UNFORTUNETLY!!


Im sorry but its pretty clear.

If it's so clear, I assume that you have withdrawn your life savings from the bank and bet them all on these two results.

Entertaining post Mr Awareness. How about some positive vibes for a change. I am pretty new to this forum and the thing that is sooo glaringly obvious to me is the amount of negativity that exists among our supporters. Its exactly that mindset that has kept us on the bottom of the ladder for the maj...

The Andrew Johns story goes a fair bit deeper than just popping the odd "disco bickie" JB. When I used to work in PR, there was an old idea that when you are up to your armpits in bad stuff, make a teary public confession about the aspect of it that is most likely to gain you some public s...

The only thing i can see is that CJ is quicker That was his reputation from the WAFL, but I must confess that he hasn't looked lightning fast to me in the games that he has played. Perhaps he is a quick runner in a non-football situation, but it's not obvious in the AFL. And you could make a cup of...

If any of you care to re watch the games thommo has played in this year, he has been nothing more than a liability in ALL of his games. No better than CJ by any means, yet his reputation makes all the bleeding hearts come out and cry for him. He should have done the HONOURABLE thing and retired 2 y...

Kosi is a marvellous player, but - if (as has been rumoured) he is holding out for a longer contract and can get it from one of the more desperate clubs then St Kilda would be right to let him go IMO. His career could be over in the twinkling of an eye: can anyone imagine that he would be able/allow...

In the selection committees collective mind CJ suits the game plan they are going in with better than Thommo. None of us in this forum are in a position to know what the plan for the game is or how CJ fits in to that. RL has faith in the boy and i will back his judgment since he is our coach! But i...

I am an enormous fan of V2, but it has to be said that he was given a golden opportunity to prove himself again at the AFL level, and he squibbed it completely.

I'm afraid I can't see any viable future for him. I'd rather see guys like Gwilt, Ferguson, Raph Clarke and Allen given a go.

Re: the youtube video you provided a link for.

Luke Ball was knocked senseless by Whelan, which is his excuse.

What's yours?

I don't think we can really predict what either team will do on Friday night. The Crows are going to be fired up and highly stressed, which is one of those unpredictable things: they could freeze (as they have done at crucial stages in the last two finals series) or they could roll over the top of t...

I have never supported drug testing by the AFL for illicit recreational drugs. My understanding is that this has been foisted on our sport by international drug-testing agencies who are themselves compelled to promote this by the absurdly puritanical USA: the country which probably consumes more ill...
